My major gripe about it is that it doesn't seem cartoony enough, such as the other main art is (Sonic, Tails).

Really? I don't think it looks robotic enough!

Aaaa! Disco King's stuff is awesome but so is Drex's.

Can't decide...

This is exactly why I think there should be 2 sets...

These are just normal discussion that always go into game development. Part of maintaining artistic control is sometimes, unfortunately, cutting very good work.

I think maintaining one set will ensure a higher quality project. Maybe when everything is done, we can talk abou alternative sets (it shouldn't be too tough) but for the purpose of getting this project done, we should be working towards one, single goal.

EDIT: And I gotta agree about the masher. While I appreciate the effort the dude put into it, it really doesn't look very good, nor does it match the style the projct is going for.

This is just criticism, don't take it as a flame or anything, nor am I trying to discouage people from contributing. Try again, perhaps?

Well obviously as Exodus said himself it was just a very quick draft. Of course he's going to be fine-tuning it some more.

And I don't like the idea of having two different styles, at least not yet. I say continue to focus on the cartoon-ish style that Vincent has done excellently with.
